API®: Worldwide recognized performance

Right from the moment it launched, API® completely revolutionized the field of bacteriology. API® brings together high quality and ease of use with standardized, miniaturized strips of biochemical tests to use with comprehensive identification databases. With API®, bacterial and fungal identification is simple, rapid and reliable.

That’s why today, API® is recognized as THE REFERENCE for identification of bacterial and fungal species.

API® strips are established as the reference technique worldwide: on top of routine use, it is also used to assess the performance of other identification products

API® products have led to the identification of new bacterial species (e.g.: within the Staphylococcus and Streptococcus genera)

Comprehensive database supported by APIWEB™

As innovative today as when API® was first developed, bioMérieux gives a new dimension to this range by making identification simple and available to everyone, anytime, and anywhere. apiweb™ leverages advanced technology to be the essential complement to manual identification.
